Statement-
The purpose of my design is to have a functional yet stylish desk organizer. Most other desk organizers are bland and boring, I wanted my design to look nice as to make people want to have it and to have it used often. Since we’re not allowed to leave our houses often and its unsafe to go to stores to shop, people from home with 3d printers can use my design to stay home and still have a desk organizer that looks rather good. My design has multiple storage areas, places to put your sticky notes, pens, pencils, paper clips, mics., a phone/tablet stand, and even an area to hang your glasses/headphones; all of these will surely help keep everything organized for the people who are stuck at home during these times.
Issues-
Since the project is as large as it is, I had to break it into parts each with its own pins connecting them, there are two pins connecting the top two plates to the “arm” of the project, both of these pins had to come down at an angle as to not bust through the wall of the arm, this made it extremely hard to figure out the right distance between the pin hole and the wall of the arm, all while trying to make sure the pin would be good enough to hold times.
Redesign-
If I had to redesign the project I would probably make the phone stand a bit bigger and also make the “arm” of the project a bit better, they both are good, but I think they possible could have been better if I had made them a tad bit bigger.
3d Printing-
Considering my design was so large, I had to break it into multiple parts, that way I can change the amount of infill on different parts that I might think will deal with more stress then others parts, or I can change the amount of the base so its heavier as to counteract the weight of other pieces so it doesn’t fall over.
